I misleading representative of the (Continued un pace 4) Editor Scio Tribune: —! see you are putting up good arguments in the columns of The Tribune why this measure should lie defeated at the polls in June and 1 come again adding my little mile to help de feat it. In years agone, 1 used to be a pretty good preacher, and I know how to use a text yet. Ix?t me quote one: "This know ye also, that in the last days, perilous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of their own selves covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, unthankful, unholy, without natural affections, truce or < trust I breakers, false accusers, in continent (untrustful.) fierce (boldI despiwra of the poor, traitors, heady < big headed) lovers of pleasure and self n ore than the lovers of God (or of justice)’’ I don’t know a more appropriate text to apply to this road bonding scheme than this, a thing conceived in sin. born in iniquity and launched upon the people unjustly. Of all m-mions of the Oregon legislature, the last one cops the climax for its rottiness and unfaith fulness to the trust imposed in them by the common people. Without specifying all of their sins, the 46.- 006,600 binding bill is the bigest. There is hardly a statement made by the advocates of thia iniquitous thing, but what is misleading and untrue. In my former article, I said the 1910 census gave the popu lation of our state to be 672,765— men. women and children. If all owned automobiles valued at 410 each would only be 46,772,765, one- fourth of a mill on thia amount would only be 41.681 and to raise 46.772.765 on a one-quarter tax. at 410 per auto, you would have to axseaa each auto at 44060 each, to raise the 46.772.765 on a one-fourth mill levy. The promoters of thia scheme, claims there are 30,1)60 autos in the state which, if true, they would have to lw assessed at 4200 each to raise 46.000.000.
